They came to the wilderness 12 yrs after the Mayflower, which was 1931, and lived in a log cabin! Shortly after Rhode Island was sold to the natives they moved to New York and survived the earth quake there when Mrs.O'brien's cow kicked over a butane burner and set the city on fire.They never lived in Boston, however!

They heard the US had a flat tax and gas was cheaper!

I think this thread got hijacked something fierce!

There might be a few other factual errors in my story, also! In reality, on one side of my family, they did come over from England 12 yrs after the Mayflower. Why,I have no idea! The other side of the family,all I know is they were also English! Like most Americans whose families came here generations ago,I am a mongrel! Hey,we could be related! >:-(

Boston? Hey,I'm a yankee fan! (Baseball)

Skoal Bills-My losers eck out another big win.(No. 2?)

Steelers are like Penn State-BORING! The only difference is, Steelers don't have Paterno to schedule Pee Wee teams to beat up on! :-)

I wish Minn had won- but only so I could hear 'the boys' whining. When Penn St. gets run over by a real college team, the whining is even worse! Great folks here in Central PA but they do have a tendency to bawl! (I think I hear a lynch mob outside my house)!

I didn't see the game but understand Favre lost the game by trying to do too much in the 4th quarter. Maybe after they've built up a lead they should take him out! Gunslinging was his problem in Green Bay!

WE ARE THE CHAMPS!!! (?) Sorry, got carried away through my time-warp continium! But a boy can dream, can't he? We love The VIKES!!!
